I noticed the tmp dir in one of my virtual hosts growing rather large, so I checked it out and I saw something like this: I think I probably missed a setting or something because session files don't seem to get removed. There were literally tens of thousands, 90 mb's worth! What can I do to fix this?

These files are created and removed by php automatically. You can take a look in your php.ini file if you disabled there something in the session manafement.
Found out what the problem is, in ubuntu session.gc_probability is disabled or set to 0 by default. More people are probably going to be affected by this. I found this in the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file: Code: ; This is disabled in the Debian packages, due to the strict permissions ; on /var/lib/php5. Instead of setting this here, see the cronjob at ; /etc/cron.d/php5, which uses the session.gc_maxlifetime setting below. ; php scripts using their own session.save_path should make sure garbage ; collection is enabled by setting session.gc_probability ;session.gc_probability = 0 I have set this to 1 now, I hope this fixes it, since ISPconfig sets the session storage path for each virtual host anyway. Hope this helps other people as well!
